Grounds for Chinese Divorces,

The Chinese have firm belief in mar
riages being made in heaven. A certain
deity whom they call The Old Man in
the Moon" links with silken cord, they
say, all predestined couples. Early mar
riages is earnestly inculcated. One of
their maxims states that there are three
cardinal sins, and that to die without
offspring is the chief. AS in other coun-
tries, spring is the time when young
peoples minds turn to thoughts of love,
and most marriages are celebrated N
February, when the peach tree blossoms
appear Among the marriage presents
are live geese, which are supposed to be
emblematical of the concord and happi-
ness of the married state. A Chinaman
may divorce his wife for seven different
reasons, and in the list are i'll temper and
a talkative disposition. The birth of q
son is the occasion of much rejoicing,
for without sons man lives without
honor and dies unhappy, with no one to
worship at his grave and none to con-
tinue the family line.

A wild story comes in from Periban,
Michoacan. Three well.mounted and
well-armed men stopped at an inn to
pass the night. The woman who kept
the place informed the authorities that
three suspicious men had called at her
house. The President of the City
Council and the Judge, with a few
citizens, went to the house to see the
suspicious characters. But the three
men locked themselves in their room
and refused to he interviewed A
crowd of citizens was collected, but when
they appeared they were greeted with
volley from the three men. An as
sault was then made on the room,
and the prisoners, breaking out of the
door, fought their way through the
crowd, using their revolvers and dag
gers. The crowd followed closely after
the fugitives, and many shots were
exchanged.
Finally one of the fellows dropped;
even while dying he turned over and
fired on his pursucrs. A second fell
a few steps further on, fighting hard.
The third sheltering himself behind a
rock, made it warm for his pursuers,
and, though often wounded fought on
with scarcely enough strength to draw
his rifle to his shoulder. Called on to
surrender he only replied with bullet,
which relieved the President of his hat.
The crowd closed in around him as the
death mist was passing over his eyes.
Still he tried to pull the trigger of his
rifle for a parting shot, but life and
strength failed him. The corpses were
buried in Periban. They were sup
posed to be part of Marcial Braves
bandit troop. During the fight the
citizens had fired two hundred shots,
and of these nearly twenty had taken
effect on the bandits, who were torn to
pieces by the storm of lead. Several of
the citizens were wounded. The BAN
dts died like legendary heroes.

HydrOphObia.

The following statement from the
Walla Walla journal should put
people on their guard. There are
hundreds of worthless dogs about
this city, and If rabies should de-
velop some unfortunate person
would surely be victim to the ter
rible disorder:
"a dog belonging to Rev. 5. NJ.
Driver, of Russell creek, exhibited
yesterday the unmistakable symp-
toms of raries, the first, it Is be-
lieved, ever seen in this part of the
country. Mr. Drivec and wife had
gone away from home, and saw
nothing unusual about the dog, which
had to be driven back from follow
ing them when they left. Soon
after, the children were alarmed at
seeing the dog frothing and trying
to jump up to the windows If the
house. AS it came near a flowing
stream in the yard the symptoms
of hydrophObia would become very
marked. The dog was a black and
tan puppy. On Mr.. Drivers return,
the animal attacked him and was
beaten off and finally killed with a
club.n

a Large Tract.

Few people are aware of the enorm-
GUS piece of land claimed by the Spo-
kanes. For the information OF our
readers the boundaries of the tract is
given as taken from the Chronicle n
well as the conditions OF the treaty:
Commencing at point on the Col
umbia river about six miles below the
mouth OF the Spokane river and fol-
lowing up the Columbia to its contfu-
ence with the Spokane; thence up the
Snake river to to the mouth of the
ChemOkane creek about eighteen
miles, where the line diverges and fol-
lows the Chemokane creek to its head
or source in Walkers prairie; thence
east by north to point near the
Northern Pacific railroad about half
way between Cocalalla and Sand Point
in Idaho; thence south by west to a
point in Washington territory about
two miles from the Idaho line, due
east OF Waverly; thence southwest to q
point about eight miles west of Steptoe
peak and about twenty-five miles due
south OF Cheney; thence in a north
westerly direction crossing the North
ern Pacific railroad at point about
twelve miles northwest OF Sprague
and passing in the immediate vicinity
of Davenport to the Columbia river
and to the point of beginning. This
section embraces about 5000 square
miles and almost 100000 acres of
land. The Indians relinQuish their
rights to this tract for the considera-
ton OF $95, 600; $4,000 to be paid the
first year, SIC, 600 the second year and
5000 each additional year thereafter
for the period OF eight years. The In
dians are to be privileged to take land
on the Occur dAlenc, Colvillc or Flat
head reserves, but in all probability
they will go to the former. The other
$4,000 is to be distributed among In
dams pro rata who settle on and inn
prove their lands in severalty. In ad-
dition each chief is allowed 500 per
annum for a period OF ten years. There
is one clause embodied in the agree
ment which must not be lost sight of,
and that is the protection the govern
ment offers to the Indians. IL is stip-
ulatcd in the treaty that all Indians
now having land taken up in severalty
shall be protected and that patent
shall be issued them from the govern
ment for said lands and further that
the government shall protect all In.
dams in any suit or suits now pending,
and shall also protect any and all In
dams in taking up lands hereafter for
agricultural purposes.

Fire Alarm.

About0 o'clock last evening an
alarm OF fire drew forth the CUSTOM
ary throng and the fire department,
but fortunately the services of the
latter were not needed. The alarm
was caused by fire In the Jail which
was extinguished by a bucket of
water. The officers generally leave
a candle burning early i'm the even
ing for the benefit OF the occupants
OF the coop. Last night there was
only one boarder who was locked up
for drunkenness. He went to sleep
and the candle burning down caught
the wood work. When Officer Fisher
opened the door the whole side Of
the building was I'm a blaze and the
prisoner was lying on the floor
Watching the fire perfectly uncun-
cerned. The smoke was very dense
and the officer wasted no time In
jerking the fellow out of danger. A
timely bucket of water eXtinguished
the fire without the aid of the de-
partment. The loss would have been
nothing had the building burned.

Occur d'Alene Connection.

The following item Of considerable
interest to this part of the country,
is taken from late issue of the
Helena independents:
"D. G. Corbin, president and chief
owner of the Occur d'Alene Railway
d Navigation company, returned
yesterday from spending several
weeks in New York. Since he has
been away he has purchased the
steamboat line on Lake Coeur d.
Alene, and he has arranged to this
year build and equip another steam
or for the service. This boat will
be fitted with screw propeller. A
boat of this build he regards as
being better fitted to cope with ice
or, the lake than the stern wheel
boats that have hitherto been en-
ployed on those waters. Mr.. Corbin
will Immediately begin to let con-
tracts for bridge ties and other sup.
plies to be employed on the extension
of his railroad up the South Fork !
,b0ve Wardner. The road will be
,uilt TO WallaceI this year and may
,e pushed on to Mullan, the con-
truction of this latter section being
omewhat dependent upon opera
ions in Dennis Ryan's Hunter mine.

Hints 10 Summer Boarders.

A humorist gives few suggestions
20 city folks who go to the country:
Don't expect view from your window
that takes in great hillside with
browsing lambs a lake with water
fowl, groves and flowers, and clear
sunset every day during your stay.
These things come high. save in ad-
vertisements for summer boarders.
Look out upon the patient farm boy
bugging the potato vines and be con-
tent. Don't ask the farmer why he
puts his little peaches near the bottom
of the basket and the big ones on top,
and similar foolish questions, and thus
display your total ignorance of agri-
cultural and horticultural pursuits,
and win the farmers honest and hearty
contempt. Don't go near the moving
machine when II is in motion. You
may safely sit on the fence surround
ing the field in which 1t is singing its
merry song, but that will be near
enough. You might go behind now
ing machine when it is in complete re-
pose, but if it should start, you should
start also, and you should not stop until
you reach the fence. Don't try to
climb the barbed wire fence just to
show the congregation how smart you
are. 1t requires long practice to climb
a barbed wire fence, and not be sorry
for it afterward. In busy times you
may take off your coat and go out with
the hands for half a Gay, just to give
yourself an appetite. That will please
the farmer Notwithstanding your in
creased appetite; but don't get into
the habit of that sort of thing. Don't
offer to milk the COW. She may object.
If you 60 walking in the woods and
see large hornets nest hanging from
a low limb, don't become infatuated
with it. If II desire to pull it and take
it home to show it to the other board
ers springs up in your bosom, try to
repress it. Hornets area little particu-
lar, and do not like to have their nests
shown around among curious city
people while they are using it, and il
you pull their nest while they are at
home they will show their disapproba-
ton of your course.

Between Damascus and Jerusalem is

Between Damascus and Jerusalem is
said to be a tribe of about three thou
sand Israelites, who have probably been
there since the beginning of the Chris
tian era. They have neither city nor
town, but live in tents, and speak the
Hebrew language among themselves,
but use the Arabian with strangers.
They have remained, like the primitive
races, exclusively tillers of the soil and
warriors, and they always so armed.
